Baby, Look At You Now

COMMUNITY NOTES - News from you

Students will collect hundreds of baby items - from diapers and hygiene products to toys and infant clothing - from 11 a.m. to noon at the school, 5715 Markham Woods Road.

Fourth-grade teacher Denise Glum suggested the shower to benefit the Coalition for the Homeless.

''We have already collected many items from the Heathrow Elementary student body, faculty and staff and our local business partners,'' Glum said.

Anyone interested in donating new baby items should take them, unwrapped, to Heathrow Elementary or to the Coalition to the Homeless.

The coalition is a nonprofit organization that helps homeless people achieve independence. The 700-bed campus at 639 W. Central Blvd. in Orlando is free and open to all segments of the homeless population.
